Nice. And obviously no.
ya probably not "reinforces negative stereotypes" or some shit i'm sure
Not just that scene, but the entire movie wouldn't have been made unless it was independently funded and produced. Even then, the backlash would be insane.
World has changed since the 1970s

remember in one of these Die Hard movies Bruce Willis is on a plane and some bitch sees he's carrying, to which Willis replies: "Don't worry, I'm a cop."
fuck that cracker!

i fap to this every day!
Death Wish was red-pilled af too.
Reminder that the pimps from the main scene were black in the script, but Scorsese changed their ethnicity because he was already getting a backlash from the producers.

>In his original screenplay, the pimp (eventually played by Harvey Keitel) was black and in the final reel shoot-out, Travis killed only black people. "In the original script, it was just a racist slaughter," Schrader remembers. "There was genuine concern. [The producers] came to me and said, 'We've really got to change this. There could be a riot.' It would have been socially and morally irresponsible if we had incited that kind of violence."
>Do you believe in Jesus?
>... yeah.
>You're about to meet him.
no there will never be a taxi that only cost .65 for a 6th of a mile

good example of a redpilled movie from a time when true alpha males still existed.
take note of the civilians reaction of joy at the death of one of the 'petty' neighborhood criminals.
charles bronson would be a villain if this movie was made today...
No. Doesn't need to be.
For one thing, NYC's not like that anymore because they get killed in the womb instead.
It's better that racism is a taboo, 'outlaw' thing to be.
America is in between outlaw mythologies since rap got so shitty and emasculated.
In 5 years kids will be generating meme videos like this with AI. Right about the same time the new internet replaces the current monopolized internet.

think of the total polar opposite that a scorsese film for example is to this..
the kids who grew up watching charles bronson films are todays police fighting the criminals who grew up watching scorcese films.
charles bronson was arguably one of the most convincing actors of all time, not because of acting talent, but because he was 100% righteous in every frame of film he appeared.
there is a special place in heaven for charles bronson, next to donald trump and jesus.
Even then it was iffy -- the Harvey Kietel pimp character was supposed to be black, but they though it might be a bit too much.
Like, the cops let him go in these films. The cops see he's a righteous man and let him go.
Thanks for reminding me I meant to buy a copy of this, never seen it.
The movie would not be made today, DeNiro obviously fucked some kids and has to tow the jew line now
That scene couldn't be made today unless the black robber was recast as a blonde Nordic Aryan ubermensch.
What a classic. Current De Niro almost ruined one of my all time fovorites with his recent stupid posturing and retarded movies.
DeNiro used to be a cool guy, even wrote back to my dad once. Come back Bobby.
Maybe with Robert De Cuck's son ?
does someone knows if de niro was always the liberal douche he is today? when he was young he took part in some movies that are the antithesis of his beliefs
This scene would NEVER be put into a Hollywood movie today.

And let's not forget: The majority of the muggers in the movie were nonWhite. There was also a cocktail party scene where racial crime stats were mentioned and a liberal guest was ridiculed.
